Hi,

To answer your first question, only Canon SLR bodies from around the late 1970s until the EOS line was introduced used the FD lens mount. Of course, other lens makers marketed lenses for these Canon cameras, but no other camera manufacturer made a body with this mount.

I'm sure I don't need to give you any selling tips for these items, but you should make it clear in your auction copy that only the 50mm is an actual Canon lens while the others are other manufacturers. Still, it is not unethical to put "Canon" in your auction title for all three (if they are in seperate auctions), as folks will use that keyword to search for lenses that fit their Canon bodies.

What you listed for each of the lenses in your post will be basically fine as a title for the auction, and then maybe add a few common sense keywords. For example, I would make sure to include the word ZOOM in the title of the zoom lens auction. Also make sure "FD" is included in each title. People with those cameras generally know what lenses to look for.

What I always do for an item I'm not sure of is to check out other similar auctions on ebay. In fact, if possible, I look at completed auctions that sold and see how that seller worded it. Of course, I'm sure you already know that, too...

Hope this helps...
